Description
Old Rectory Cottage is a house that likely dates from the early to mid-18th century, with later additions and alterations, including a 19th-century range to the right and a rear extension that is of no special interest. The building is constructed from magnesian limestone, with pinkish-orange brick and a cast-tile roof. It features a lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys tall with three first-floor windows. The entrance is off-centre, marked by a six-panel door, and there are 12-pane casement windows throughout. The ground floor openings are set under flat brick arches, and there is a two-course band at the first floor. The roof is hipped to the left, with a ridge and end stack that has a cogged band. Inside, the cottage has chamfered beams and exposed joists in some ground-floor rooms, along with remnants of a bressumer beam in the centre room and a cambered tie beam on the staircase wall.
